Lifting cable danger. Cranes are used to lift steel beams at construction sites (Figure a). Let's look at the danger in such a lift for a beam with length L = 12.5 m, a square cross-section with edge length w=0.458 m, and density p= 7900 kg/m³. The main cable from the crane is attached to two short cables of length h = 7.00 m symmetrically attached to the beam at distance d from the midpoint (Figure b). (a) What is the tension Tmain in the main cable when the beam is lifted at constant speed? What is the tension Tshort in each short cable if d is (b) 1.60 m, (c) 4.24 m, and (d) 5.91 m? (e) As d increases, what happens to the danger of the short cables snapping?

A steel beam ABC carries a concentrated load of P (kN) at B and C, as shown in Figure Q3(a). The beam has a wide-flange section shown in Figure Q3(b) and designated as W610 x 82 with geometrical properties as shown in Table 1.

A ladder with a length of L= 8 m and a mass of M=50 kg rests on a rough ground (providing friction) and on a roller without friction at the top of the wall at h= 5 m above the ground (see figure). The angle θin the picture is 60°, and the ladder is just about to slip. (A) Draw a force diagram whichshows all forces acting on the ladder.Take the force that the roller exerts to be perpendicular to the ladder. (B) Use a net torque equation to calculate the force that the roller exerts on the ladder. (C) Use net force equations to calculate the normal from the ground, the force of static friction, and the coefficient of static friction.

A lifeboat hangs from two ship’s davits, asshown in the figure. A pin of diameter d = 0.80 in.passes through each davit and supports two pulleys,one on each side of the davit.Cables attached to the lifeboat pass over the pulleysand wind around winches that raise and lowerthe lifeboat. The lower parts of the cables are verticaland the upper parts make an angle α =15° with thehorizontal. The allowable tensile force in each cableis 1800 lb, and the allowable shear stress in the pinsis 4000 psi. If the lifeboat weighs 1500 lb, what is the maximumweight that can be carried in the lifeboat?
